the hitman Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 out today on a new farm ,i was able to do a recce yesterday and spotted a good place. arrived today at 9.30 to find a scarecrow had appeared just where i wanted the deeks ,so i pulled it in and set up with a small wood behind me. I shot 3 then bang the farmer had put a gas gun in the wood about 20ft behind my hide.I went back to the car to clean myself then checked another field on the same farm and ended the day with 30. p.s my ears are still ringing.

Cranfield Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 If the Farmer had put a scarecrow and a field banger in that area, it must be a spot where he has seen a lot of pigeons. I would return there. Its worth asking the Farmer if you can turn the banger off, they rarely object. :thumbs: I was game shooting today on a woodland Shoot. There were acorns everywhere and the pigeons were all over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hitman Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 unless the weather is hard gas guns do keep birds off , but i will keep trying. one thing i did notice i shot 3 juvenile birds that must be global warming.

Rob G Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I've found the best way to get a gas gun to keep pigeons off a field,is to have it set to go off 3 times in approx 30 seconds.One of the farms i shoot on moves them around the field on a regular basis.
